Last night I made these crab cakes! It's a Paula Deen receipe that I tweaked to make it easier for me. I have to be honest I burnt myself with the hot oil several times, I always seem to no matter what. I also just made some easy cheesy chicken flavored rice. You could serve these cakes with some of your favorite sauce, but I think the cheesy rice helps them not seem dry. And in the frozen vegetable section they had corn on the cob. So I boiled them & they only took about 5 minutes to cook!
~ Crab Cakes
3-4 cans of crab meat
1/3 cup of bread crumbs
1 tbsp of chopped onion or you can use green onion
1/2 cup of chopped bell pepper (you can use green or red)
1/4 cup of mayo
1 egg
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp of dry mustard
1 tsp of lemon juice
1/4 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of seasoning salt
1 dash of cayenne pepper - or more if you are me!
Flour for dusting
1/2 cup of peanut oil
Mix together all ingredients expect for flour & oil. Shape into patties, should make about 4-6 patties. Dust them with the flour on top & bottom. Heat oil in your skillet to medium/high heat. Then you can test to see if the oil is hot by placing a little piece of the crab in it, & if it bubbles then you are ready. Place the cakes in the pan & cook on each side for about 5 minutes. After they are finished cooking place them on a plate with paper towels to soak up some of that grease! Then serve!
